Potato and Broccoli Cream Gratin
Hello everyone, I am Masa.
This time I would like to share with you a baked dish that is really good to serve during the winter.
Its name is potato and broccoli gratin.
This time of the year, a lot of people start to think what dishes to make for the end of year, Christmas, or even New Year.
Some people will make BBQ, quiches, cakes, and cookies, etc.
Everyone is focused on main dishes and desserts.
People spend a lot of time preparing the main dish,
but they are not able to spend as much time to prepare for the side dishes.
As a result, the side dishes turn out to be rather simple: they're often blanched and seasoned lightly before serving
This time, I am going to introduce a great helper to solve this problem
It is Campbell's® Condensed Cream of mushroom soup.
Using this soup, we can easily make a very satisfying comfort side dish.
Okay, let's start!
One potato thinly sliced.
Soaked in water to remove excess starch.
100 gram Shimeji mushroom.
You can use different types of mushroom too.
One bunch of broccoli.
Cut into small florets.
Cut into the stems to prevent flower buds from breaking apart.
Do not throw away the main stem. It is edible.
Cut away the fibrous skin.
2-3 slices of bacon.
Cut into small pieces.
Blanch the broccoli florets.
Cook for 30 seconds to preserve the color and the texture.
Put on cheese cloth or paper towel to cool down.
To prevent the flower buds from absorbing too much water, do not cool them down in ice water.
Start cooking the potatoes in cold water.
Cooking time will vary, cook until the chopstick can easily pierce the potato slices
Place bacon strips in the pan
Turn on medium heat.
Cook until the fat is rendered
Add mushroom.
Saute till golden brown.
Okay. Now it's time to add Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup.
It is a condensed soup and has a rich mushroom flavor
The benefit to use this soup is:
Since this condensed soup is thick, you don't have to start from scratch using flour to make white sauce.
You can prepare your dish by heating up your favorite ingredients first and then adding the soup to mix.
When you don't have enough time to make complex dishes, this is really convenient!
Now, it is time to add the soup!
One can of Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup.
Add 200cc milk to the can.
Mix well.
You can adjust the amount of milk to your taste -- it is fine to modify the amount suggested by this recipe
Add cooked potato slices.
Add cooked broccoli florets.
Mix to combine well.
Since all the ingredients are cooked, turn off the fire once they are heated up.
Add 80 grams of pizza cheese.
Put in 250 C preheated oven.
Bake for 8 minutes or until the surface turns golden brown.
Okay. Now the delicious potato broccoli gratin is ready.
It looks rich and pretty!
I am going to taste it!
You can see the steam come out. It is very hot.
let's dig in!
mmm!
Many kids may not like green vegetables like these.
Nevertheless, I think kids will be able to accept vegetables prepared in this way.
A presentation like this can serve as a main dish.
You can use chicken or sea food to replace bacon.
It is the same preparation, saute with vegetables first, then add the condensed soup.
If you are going to make this into a main dish, you can use pasta or rice to replace potato.
The recipe I have shown you today is very simple
This is the season where everyone gets really busy and visits many friends and family.
December in Japanese is called shiwasu
To help you relax while preparing dishes, you can use this soup to save some effort.
It is a good idea to use ready-made food to help you prepare dishes.
I hope everyone will enjoy making simple food that is both delicious and heart-warming.
Thanks for watching!
